Default RE: Center of gravity.

For models we can easily go with the CG at around 30% of the wing chord back from the leading edge unless it's an extreme design (the Cessna layout is far from extreme). 25% noted above is used by some as a starting point but other than a few extreme designs it provides more pitch stability than most folks are expecting or comfortable with.
